Another excerpt from the first draft of my upcoming novel: A Pocketful of Euros. Enjoy.
Backstory: An innocent man has been arrested. Yale Larsson, my protagonist won’t rest until he’s set free.
**********************
Picked up my cell phone. Called the hospital. Spoke to Evans and told him what we’d discovered. He told me he’d make it happen. I thanked him and disconnected the call.
“Major Evans will grease the wheels. Good work, Janet. Thank you. Can you stay for dinner?”
“I’d love to Studly, but I have a date. How are things progressing with your social media page?”
“May have another fish on the line. Lady who wants to paint me.
“Reel her in.” She fist bumped me and found her way out.
Walked into the kitchen. As usual, Jayson was cooking. Smelled wonderful. He put something in the oven, poured two iced teas and sat at the dining room table. I joined him.
Jayson sipped his tea. “Productive day?”
“Major Evans, my old nemesis, greased the wheels. Janet Brown broke into Demetrius Robinson’s house.”
“Exigent circumstances?”
“Yup.”
“And?
“Found a Glock with two rounds missing. She’ll run it through ballistics in the morning. Also found a diary. Robinson put his girlfriend and her daughter through hell.”
“And if the ballistics match, Roscoe Love will be a free man.”
“Yup.” Sipped my tea. “Anything else from our social media pages?”
“Yup. You have a meeting at the Big Chill after school lets out tomorrow.”
“Great.”
